Council of Governments loses another representative

Today's Sun Journal has an article titled "Council of Governments Loses another Representative." The article states that the Treasure, Mr. Masters, resigned because, "On a professional level, I cannot and will not be associated with any government organization that is so totally unaccountable for taxpayers' funds."

The article goes on to say that March 1 is the deadline for member communities to decide if they want to continue to be involved.  The article also says the Mr. Masters owns a "non-profit" organization (read can only pay salaries, not pay out profits, so when income goes up, salaries tend to go up,too) that specializes in writing grants (there is that word I hate) and grant management services for local governments and he is personally involved in "revolving loans." I suspect that his involvement should be carefully scrutinized.

It should be clear to anyone now that Craven County needs to take this opportunity to remove itself from this organization.
